What they tell their suppliers

Offers e-invoicing

In their own words · from the filing

Standard payment terms

Standard supplier payment terms are generally 30 days, however certain exceptions exist up to 60 days.  Currently the existing supplier database has supplier on payment terms between Immediate and 60 days.  Supplier payment terms are subject to regular review and are updated accordingly in line with our standard supplier terms where appropriate.

Dispute resolution

In the event of a dispute between invoice approver and the supplier a complaint can be raised to the Shared Service Department of Hilton which can be contacted at [email protected] or phone number 0800 029 1667. This department will send the complaint to the invoice approver within Hilton responsible for follow up. The Hilton invoice approver and supplier have to reach agreement within a reasonable period. A reasonable period is defined by the parties involved. If the dispute is not resolved both parties should escalate to a senior representative from each party which shall meet and endeavour to resolve the dispute within a reasonable time.

Other information

The Average Time to Pay days includes UK intercompany statistics alongside AP payments. These intercompany statistics reflect positively on the average time to pay days. The point at which all intercompany activity is collated into a report to settle and provided to the Accounting Teams has been deemed the invoice point. Settlement of this intercompany report is undertaken promptly being only 1-2 days later. Immediate payment terms are included in the late payment stats however not all of these supplier have contracts that state immediate payment. The values shown as late payment are mainly due to immediate payment terms.

What a 32-day cycle ties up

A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 32-day vs a 1-day payment cycle.

≈ £12,500
of invoicing outstanding at any one time on a 32-day cycle — about £12,200 more than the same account would carry at 1-day terms.

Late Payment Act. The Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 lets a supplier charge statutory interest and fixed compensation on invoices paid past agreed terms. Work out what a late invoice is worth → Whether it applies depends on your contract — check with an adviser.

How UK payment reporting works

What is a Payment Practices Report?
UK companies and LLPs above a size threshold — broadly, two of: turnover over £54m, balance sheet over £27m, or more than 250 employees — must report twice a year, under the Reporting on Payment Practices and Performance Regulations 2017, how quickly they actually pay suppliers: the average time to pay, the share of invoices paid in 30 days or fewer, 31 to 60 days and 61 days or longer, and their standard payment terms. Those thresholds apply to financial years beginning on or after 6 April 2025; for earlier financial years they were £36m and £18m, with the same 250-employee test.
What does "paid outside agreed terms" mean?
The share of invoices paid later than the terms in the supplier contract. If terms are 30 days and an invoice is paid on day 45, it counts as paid outside terms, regardless of the headline average.
How often is this data updated?
Each report covers a six-month period and must be filed within 30 days of that period ending, so a company's record refreshes roughly twice a year. PaidLate re-reads the register as new reports are filed.
Is this official government data?
The underlying payment figures come from the company's own statutory filings on the gov.uk payment-practices service; company-status data comes from Companies House. PaidLate calculates trends, comparisons and summaries from those records. It does not use surveys or credit-agency scores.

How this is compiled. Built from official records only: Companies House and the gov.uk payment-practices service. The payment figures are self-reported — companies over the size threshold must file them by law and the board signs them off. No credit-agency data. The numbers are theirs; the plain-English read is ours. This is information compiled from public records under the Open Government Licence v3.0 — not a credit rating and not advice.

The 31-day comparison figure is the median across 6,104 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
